Geoff,
I think I know what you mean about the way that these clips can fail, and how, when the correct pressure is applied in the right (or wrong) direction, the jess can pull right out of...
Steve, You should contact the person who wrote the description for your ebook, (the one that appears on the webpage that Ryan shared a link to) and kindly request that they edit the text. It's...
Hey Tony,
I'll take any chance I can get to toss out a shameless plug for folks to join NAFA.
"Hey, all y'all that aren't members! JOIN!!!" <----- see?
And also, a comment for...
I'm with you Bryan. I'll be there regardless of where or when it is. Hays will be a good time. I'm actually planning to stay there for an extra week after the meet this year with some of my...
Just an FYI for you folks that suggested other titles;
You'll be pleased to know that there are two book reviews in the back of the new NAFA Journal. One is by Hans Peeters and is a review of John...

Ken,
Just give me a shout man. I've already got the measurements I need.
Ricardo,
Glad you got those photos up. They look great! Nice copies, for sure.
Ricardo,
Thanks for the compliment. I have not sold any of the clamshells that I've been making. Like Bill said, it's simply a personal passion. That's not to say that I wouldn't make a few...
Ricardo,
I thought you and Ed would appreciate seeing what I've done with my copy. Bill Barbour will appreciate this too, as he and I both make custom clamshell boxes for some of the nicer...
Tony,.... Now you've sparked my imagination. Tell Andy I'm coming over with my leather-bound copy and whatever it takes to convince him to do a little sketch in there somewhere! I'm kidding, of...
Geoff,
You would have to check in with Sheldon Nicolle for the hard facts on this topic, but to my knowledge, NONE of the states have been completely ruled out. However,... Brandi is not...
Well,... when the time is right, come on out and stay for a while. You'll love the coast of Maine. (and we'll pull a fuzzy white Cooper's for you)
Come on Missy.... take a crazy road trip up here to stay at my place for a while and we will get the necessary permits in hand, and send you home with one!! How long has it been since you took a...
Paul,
(if I may) - my two cents about choosing a sex to fly in sharpshins is that you shouldn't really think about it. In my estimation, the most important thing in choosing an imprint 'shin...
Welcome Norrie! Good to have you here. You live in a stunningly beautiful part of the world. I've spent a fair amount of time in your part of the world, traveling up and down the west coast of...
The book is great! Really well done Kent! I'm just about finished reading it, and there are SO many great little nuggets of historical information in those pages. If any of you were there for...
Same here...
I'm flying out tomorrow morning. See you all soon!
Can't wait!
Okay, so I'm sitting here making my "to-do" list, and so far it looks like this;
Shake the hand of Rich B. the genius leather man
Convince Redig to give me a piggy-back ride around the...
Elias,
Welcome to the forum. I've spent quite a bit of time in your neck of the woods, and done a fair amount of hawking there as well (with my hawks and others') Just thought I'd make a...
Krys has a surprise up his sleeve for all of us...
Is he ready to tell us yet........?
I just think the difference in size is amazing. Mine killed again this morning at 178, and it's just hard to imagine a little musket at HALF that weight. As I said to Kim earlier today, just...
It's amazing to hear what weights you guys are flying these little males at. There's quite a difference between the sexes. I'm flying my female daily at weights between 175 and 180 right now.
Jeff,
I totally understand your hesitation. I've been much too laid back about my little 'shin, and it kind of bit me in the butt tonight. Our evening session (in an area VERY rich in small bird...
Hey Jeff,
One more photo for you, so that you can actually see what she looks like. (this was the most recent bagged HOSP) She's watching a plane fly overhead. I just like the picture, and...
